Cost guide · 2026
If you're running a small med spa and worried about the cost of an AI receptionist, the simple answer is: it's cheaper than hiring a single human receptionist and works around the clock. Here's the transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the ROI math that shows why even the smallest spa can afford one — and why paying for it just makes sense.
Short answer: RAMELO's AI receptionist costs $349–$1,399/month flat with no per-call charges, no setup fee for existing booking systems, and no overage surprises. Compare that to hiring a part-time receptionist at $1,500–$2,800/month or full-time at $3,650–$5,625/month, and the AI is an obvious choice for affordability and 24/7 coverage. A single recovered booking per month typically pays for the service.
| RAMELO Core | Part-time receptionist (20 hrs/wk) | Full-time receptionist | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $349 | $1,500–$2,800 | $3,650–$5,625 |
| After-hours coverage | Included (24/7) | No (separate cost) | No (separate cost) |
| Sick days / vacation | None | Yes (coverage gap) | Yes (coverage gap) |
| Turnover / retraining | None | High (typical 1–2 yr tenure) | High (typical 1–2 yr tenure) |
| Appointment booking (live) | Yes, on every call | Yes, when available | Yes, when available |
| In-clinic presence | No | Yes | Yes |
Let's use real numbers for a small med spa:
In other words: a single recovered booking pays for the entire month. Everything after that is pure profit. For most small med spas receiving 60+ calls per month, this is a no-brainer.
Yes. A solo practitioner missing even 2–3 calls per month (which is common during treatment hours) at $250 per appointment is losing $500–$750/month. At $349/month for RAMELO Core, that's a positive ROI the first month. Plus, 24/7 coverage means evening and weekend callers — which often have the highest intent to book — never go to voicemail.
RAMELO doesn't lock you into annual contracts. You can start on any plan and switch or cancel month-to-month if the fit isn't right. Most practices see value immediately (within 1–2 weeks of going live), but you're not obligated to stay.
Yes. Many practices start with Core ($349/month) and upgrade to Pro ($699/month) as call volume grows or if they want advanced analytics and priority support. You can upgrade at any time, and the change takes effect the next billing cycle.
You can upgrade to Pro or Max anytime. Pricing is monthly, so you're not locked in. RAMELO's support team can help you choose the right plan as your volume grows.

Core ($349/month) is still your best option — it includes all features for a flat monthly fee. You're paying for 24/7 availability and live booking, not the number of calls.
